Aren't most people on this forum nuts? Maybe Muz should collect a hundred different variants of a particular graphics card, because that's clearly the height of sanity. You leave me out of this! Only mine is more sound card related. But I do have multiple large storage bins of video cards as well. …

If you want your Live! to sound even better, install the Audigy drivers on it. Of course you have to do the driver install manually after extracting the files from the Audigy driver installer, but it does work. They fixed a lot of issues in the Audigy drivers as well as increased the output quality …

You can't configure the amount of available RAM, it is auto-detected. You don't have to completely fill up the RAM with soundfonts though.

Well, if you want a shorter cable, you will probably have to make one yourself. Without the proper tools, it is pretty impossible to use the solder or crimp type ends... but you could use one that uses screw lugs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DB25-D-SUB-plug-26PIN-port-Terminal-breakout-PCB-plastic- …

XP with only 512MB pretty much sucks. Minimum I do for XP is 1GB and more is always better, especially for games.

Anyone know what it can do? The board itself seems pretty dull...it just looks like a regular AWE64G with more memory. If I had to guess it probably offers little or nothing over a CT3670 with lots of memory. Well, with the CMS2 AC-3 board it is supposed to do surround-sound. As far as I know, that …

Another Option maybe would to add a LPT Port but i don`t know if Express and PCMCIA LPT Ports are recognized by BIOS/EFI so that you can use them under DOS.. That eventually would allow using a OPL3LPT from Serdaco. For DOS, you have to have a driver for the PCMCIA slot chipset. Not sure about an …
